Hi J yes the non electronic 22 from a V8 D1. I'll email Dave Ashcroft again. What I've learned is that the kickdown connects close to the throttle shaft from below on a short pull. I might be able to rig the cruise but it pulls in the same direction as throttle cable. On a dry day I'll pull it...

So the conversion is done and I'm very happy with the result. Its a well matched engine a box, far better than the LT85. As before I don't want a sports car, mainly a good off-roader and general runabout. Note that I'm not doing trialling or serious mud-plugging so I'm aiming for a good all...

Really interesting replies, so I'll add my thoughts. The LT85 is a slow gearbox that demands you work the engine hard to get a decent drive. Having driven it for 5 years it's not fun, you have to drive slow and lazy. The engine is OK, lacks power compared to more modern V8s but also needs to be...

Hi please can I check if on the Disco the kickdown cable connects to the throttle body or accelerator pedal? Thanks

Hi J thanks for the info. I've reached out to Ashcroft but Dave is on holiday till next week. Best, Chris

Hi all, I'm considering converting my Defender 90 (1993) to automatic. It's already a mongrel, with a P38 4.6V8 GEMS engine mated to a LT85 gearbox. The drive shafts rubn down the right side to Disco 1 axles. I'm thinking of putting in an 4hp22 autobox but want to make sure the bellhousing and...

Hi all, looking for some help here and not sure which way to go. I don't have garage facilities so will have to use a garage for the work. Here goes. I have a Defender 90 with a P38 4.6V8 mated to an LT85. The LT85 is making nasty rumbly noises especially on overrun or deceleration. So do I...

I fixed mine by cutting out the damaged part and transplanting in a piece of a Triumph gaiter.

The rear drop links are also cheap and easy to replace. Once the rubbers split they wear out and get sloppy. When changing mine I found that the ARB bushes were badly worn so I replaced them, and new bump stops too. All in it made a big improvement to the handling.

Hi, my condenser is toast and I am considering replacing it myself as all the harmful gases have leaked away. I can't find any help online explaining the process for removing it without stripping out the entire front end. In particular I would like to know if it can be done without removing the...

Hi I have the same problem. Can I revive this post please with anyone who has resolved the problem posting photos of their solution, or the LR parts for the official fix?

Hi, I had a similar issue with mine after a remap 2 years ago. It was fine for 9 months and went like a rocket through the rev range. It then started misfiring like yours and eventually was diagnosed as overboosting and the MAF sensor triggering limp mode. Around the same time the remap was done...

Well done sierrafery. I replaced the tow power socket which was grungy as hell, and found F25 had blown by going through each fuse one at a time. Problem fixed! Thanks for the hint.

I got the same symptoms today as described: During towing a trailer I started getting the diff lock light when I pressed the brake pedal, and now the brake and reversing lights don't work. I have checked the fuses and can't find any blown, I checked every one with a light symbol because I...

Thanks Paul, I'm pretty sure the night illumination works. I will try to get a diagnostic tool on it. I can't imagine why the screen would be switched off but it's worth checking. Do you know where the timer unit is situated in case this is faulty? I unscrewed the dash fuse box today in case...

Hi just to provide closure for all the problem was overboost, which was diagnosed when I had it chipped. Once the wastegate screw was wound back a bit the misfire went away. Thanks to all who contributed.

Hi I have a problem with my front windscreen demister not working. It''s a D2 2001 that has a heated front windscreen factory fitted. When I press the dash button nothing happens, no light, no relay click. I have just replaced the missing relay with the correct part. Both fuses f7 and f8 are...

Sorry didn't mean to ignore your advice, just lacking time to diagnose. The MAF sensor is still plugged in. I'll unplug it on the weekend, and try find someone with a Nanocom

Update from today: on the way home thoroughly warmed up it misfired several times when accelerating between 2500-3000 rpm then smoothed out and continued to pull beyond 3000.
